    Haresh Kumar Sharma, Kriti Kumari, Samarjit Kar
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 1-14, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000036
    Abstract This article focuses on the use of the rough set theory in modeling of time series forecasting. In this paper, we have used the double exponential smoothing (DES) model for forecasting. The classical DES model has been improved by using the rough set technique. The improved double exponential smoothing (IDES) method can be used for the time series data without any statistical assumptions. The proposed method is applied on tourism demand of the air transportation passenger data set in Australia and the results are compared with the classical DES model. It has been observed that the forecasting accuracy of the… More >

    Jun Ye
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 15-23, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000067
    Abstract Because existing proportional-integral-derivative (PID) tuning method using similarity measures of single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) and an increasing step algorithm shows its complexity and inconvenience, this paper proposes a PID tuning method using a cosine similarity measure of SVNSs and genetic algorithm (GA) to improve the existing PID tuning method. In the tuning process, the step response characteristic values (rising time, settling time, overshoot ratio, undershoot ratio, peak time, and steady-state error) of the control system are converted into the single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) by the neutrosophic membership functions (Neutrosophication). Then the values of three appropriate parameters in a PID controller… More >

    Xiang Cao1,2,3, Haichun Yu1,3, Hongbing Sun1,3
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 25-34, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000038
    Abstract For cooperative hunting by a multi-AUV (multiple autonomous underwater vehicles) team, not only basic problems such as path planning and collision avoidance should be considered but also task assignments in a dynamic way. In this paper, an integrated algorithm is proposed by combining the self-organizing map (SOM) neural network and the Glasius Bio-Inspired Neural Network (GBNN) approach to improve the efficiency of multi-AUV cooperative hunting. With this integrated algorithm, the SOM neural network is adopted for dynamic allocation, while the GBNN is employed for path planning. It deals with various situations for single/multiple target(s) hunting in underwater environments with obstacles.… More >

    Juan Li
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 35-48, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000003
    Abstract K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm (KNN) is a simple and mature classification method. However there are susceptible factors influencing the classification performance, such as k value determination, the overlarge search space, unbalanced and multi-class patterns, etc. To deal with the above problems, a new classification algorithm that absorbs tree structure, tree pruning and adaptive k value method was proposed. The proposed algorithm can overcome the shortcoming of KNN, improve the performance of multi-class and unbalanced classification, reduce the scale of dataset maintaining the comparable classification accuracy. The simulations are conducted and the proposed algorithm is compared with several existing algorithms. The results… More >

    Formal Modelling of Real-Time Self-Adaptive Multi-Agent Systems

    Awais Qasima, Syed Asad Raza Kazmib
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 49-63, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000012
    Abstract The paradigm of multi-agent systems is very expressive to model distributed real-time systems. These real-time multi-agent systems by their working nature have temporal constraints as they need to operate in pervasive, dynamic and unpredictable environments. To achieve better fault-tolerance, they need to have the ability of self-adaptivity making them adaptable to the failures. Presently there is a lack of vocabulary for the formal modelling of real-time multi-agent systems with self-adaptive ability. In this research we proposed a framework named SMARTS for the formal modelling of self-adaptive real-time multi-agent systems. Our framework integrates MAPE-K interfaces, reflection perspective and unification with distribution… More >

    An Accelerated Convergent Particle Swarm Optimizer (ACPSO) of Multimodal Functions

    Yasir Mehmood, Waseem Shahzad
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 91-103, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000017
    Abstract Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is a global optimization technique that is used to find the optimal solution in multimodal problems. However, one of the limitation of PSO is its slow convergence rate along with a local trapping dilemma in complex multimodal problems. To address this issue, this paper provides an alternative technique known as ACPSO algorithm, which enables to adopt a new simplified velocity update rule to enhance the performance of PSO. As a result, the efficiency of convergence speed and solution accuracy can be maximized. The experimental results show that the ACPSO outperforms most of the compared PSO… More >

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 105-115, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000034
    Abstract This work aimed to predict postoperative knee functions of a new patient prior to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery using machine learning, because such prediction is essential for surgical planning and for patients to better understand the TKA outcome. However, the main difficulty is to determine the relationships among individual varieties of preoperative and postoperative knee kinematics. The problem was solved by constructing predictive models from the knee kinematics data of 35 osteoarthritis patients, operated by posterior stabilized implant, based on generalized linear regression (GLR) analysis. Two prediction methods (without and with principal component analysis followed by GLR) along with… More >

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 121-129, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000049
    Abstract A critical infrastructure provides essential services to a nation’s population. Interruptions in its smooth operations are highly undesirable because they will cause significant and devastating consequences on all stakeholders in the society. In order to provide sustained protection to a nation’s critical infrastructure, we must continually assess and evaluate the risks thereof. We propose a risk assessment framework that can evaluate the risks posed to the security of a critical infrastructure from threat agents, with a special emphasis on the smart grid communications infrastructure. The framework defines finegrained risk identification to help quantify and assess exploitable vulnerabilities within a critical… More >

    Abstract The traditional web anomaly detection systems face the challenges derived from the constantly evolving of the web malicious attacks, which therefore result in high false positive rate, poor adaptability, easy over-fitting, and high time complexity. Due to these limitations, we need a new anomaly detection system to satisfy the requirements of enterprise-level anomaly detection. There are lots of anomaly detection systems designed for different application domains. However, as for web anomaly detection, it has to describe the network accessing behaviours characters from as many dimensions as possible to improve the performance.

    Protecting Android Applications with Multiple DEX Files Against Static Reverse Engineering Attacks

    Kyeonghwan Lim1, Nak Young Kim1, Younsik Jeong1, Seong-je Cho1, Sangchul Han2, Minkyu Park2
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 143-153, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000051
    Abstract The Android application package (APK) uses the DEX format as an executable file format. Since DEX files are in Java bytecode format, you can easily get Java source code using static reverse engineering tools. This feature makes it easy to steal Android applications. Tools such as ijiami, liapp, alibaba, etc. can be used to protect applications from static reverse engineering attacks. These tools typically save encrypted classes.dex in the APK file, and then decrypt and load dynamically when the application starts. However, these tools do not protect multidex Android applications. A multidex Android application is an APK that contains multiple… More >

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 183-192, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000054
    Abstract Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two security protocols developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks. The prevailing usage of GPUs improves the brute force attacks and cryptanalysis on access points of the wireless networks. It is time-consuming for the cryptanalysis with the huge total combinations of 9563 max. Now, it is the turning point that the leap progress of GPUs makes the Wi-Fi cryptanalysis much more efficient than before. In this research, we proposed a rule-based password cracking scheme without dictionary files which improves the efficiency of cracking WPA/WPA2 protected access… More >
